The Joy of Laptops

*I own three Apple laptops. Thanks to much labor

and expense, as of this moment, TWO, a clear

majority, are actually functional!

*The most dependable is the oldest, probably

because Apple had to weld its logic board

into the carcass at Apple's own expense.

Also, unlike other G4s, its keyboard does not

smear off rapidly under normal use.

*The one I'm using now has seen some trouble.

It was lying in the corner, stone dead, a week ago.

Note that even the REPLACED keys, of a distinctly

different tint, have worn off with use. And check out the

awesome impact blister:

*I've got a brand-new laptop, but it's in the shop.

*You know what 's cool about this ridiculously

delicate and flimsy machine? No viruses!
